Lincoln, Life-Size Book: This book captures an overlooked but vital aspect of Lincoln: his face. While he was known as an ugly man, and he even joked about that reputation, Lincoln's contemporaries often commented on his striking featureson how animated he became while telling stories, or how at more serious moments his face seemed to reflect his wisdom. Taken across a span of nearly twenty years, from 1846 to 1865, these images provide us with a visual account of Lincoln's intertwined political and personal lives as we watch him age and observe the toll taken by the Civil War in the final four years of his life. Each portrait is presented in both a standard size and in life-size, and is accompanied by a contemporaneous quote by or about Lincoln. Offering an unprecedented window into Lincoln's soul, Lincoln, Life-Size grants us a new appreciation of this extraordinary man and a glimpse of the force of character that made him great. By Philip B. Kunhardt III. This book may have a small Remainder Mark. EAN: 9780307270818
